It includes some modest changes to the processing of RGS data and incorporates version 11 of the SAS. The most significant changes to the pipeline include: i) Processing of RGS data in wavelength space, ii) Inclusion of epexposure, which introduces time-randomization of PN event data, iii) Use of new epoch-dependent EPIC canned response files for MOS. iv) RGS small window mode is now handled - background subtraction is disabled in such cases The changes of the SAS between SAS version 10.0.0 used in prod8.3 and SAS version 11.0.0 used here are described at http://xmm.esac.esa.int/sas/current/documentation/releasenotes. Minor further changes were included in to SAS 11.0.0 ppstrack which is used in this pipeline. The updated versions of tasks relevant to the pipeline are as follows: cal-3.204.1, ommodmap-2.22 and rgsspecplot-2.21.
